It seems like that statement was written and translated outside the usual channels. Other press releases from today were written in much better and coherent English[1][2]. It would be odd for the English to be so good in all the other releases but so terrible in this one -- it's like a higher-up wrote it and ran it through a computer translator, then demanded it be printed verbatim without editing by an English speaker.
